Bug description:
  [impact]

  when a service configured to restart crashes, under certain
  configurations, that service is not correctly restarted.

  [test case]

  see comment 8

  [regression potential]

  this changes the job mode of manager-triggered restarts to 'replace'
  any existing queued job(s), instead of failing if there are queued
  job(s).  thus any regressions would occur when a service fails, that
  is configured to restart on failure.

  [scope]

  This is needed only for Xenial and Bionic.

  this is fixed with commit 03ff2dc71ecb09272d728d458498b44f7f132f51
  which is included already in Eoan.
